holy fuck it’s real

UK blueskier 90% of the time: It's cold and it's mean spirited and I don't like it here anymore. Uk Blueskier when an american lib UK posts: 🎵 Land of Hope and Glory, Mother of the Free, How shall we extol thee, who are born of thee?

🎶 I'm beggin' Beggin' yoo-oo-oo-oo-ou To put good fuckin' alt text on pics 🎵 I have the name of the American president muted. Muting works on pics as well. I've seen his grinning mug FIVE TIMES in less than half an hour because even when people do alt text they don't type his name.

Catching up on not one but two episodes of #TheTraitors. Cannot believe that the author of such brilliant thrillers would literally do the 'now, don't you dare murder ME' plot device in real life.

New poll from Navigator also with an incredible result; the largest drop in support for ICE since June was actually among *Republicans*, 25% of which now say they have an unfavorable opinion of the agency.

Dave Filoni and Lynwen Brennan are officially set to replace Kathleen Kennedy after the longtime head of Lucasfilm, the studio in charge of Star Wars and Indiana Jones, returns to a focus on producing. https://bit.ly/3NmFlYm

There was not another choice. No one in the game today knows and loves Star Wars like Filoni. Genuinely wonder how he'll do at the business side.

I really enjoyed building this mini-workbook, a formalization of the journalling process I've used to find the root causes of my writer's block for the past 10 years, for #WeeknightWriters! If you're feeling stuck, this might be just the thing you need to get going again

"Virgin Active’s decision to abandon trans people is a shocking failure for a company that claims to be a proud supporter of LGBTQ+ rights. It’s time to hold them to account."

A real problem in British policy discourse is often there is a “the only benchmark is the United States”, which very rarely is useful given the size and demographic differences between the two.

Imagine doing a PhD in electricity, just so you knew how to blow up nuclear power plants and heavy water-producing facilities. “I learned from them very early that what one does with Nazis is kill them... I am not a pacifist.” A profile in absolute courage.

They’re made of solid gold. My favorite story about that is two Danish physicists fleeing Nazi occupation had a colleague dissolve their medals in aqua regia. In the 50’s the chemist who helped them was able to precipitate the gold back out and send it to Sweden where the medals were recast.

Just two more hours till the Bone Zone

Lunch with the locals 🪦 📍Cathays Cemetery #Wales #History

Some good news, though, if anyone has mislaid medieval Britain.

The only consistency with this group is Jade catching strays

So Harriet’s theory about Rachel - which dominated the entire previous day - just gets… totally ignored? #TheTraitors

fantastic episode for all of us who couldn't tell the young white men apart #TheTraitors

Jessie after every roundtable at this point. #TheTraitors

It’s giving Penelope Pitstop

She's a Kemininomenon. A WHAT? A KEMININOMENON

the night vision can even pick up stephen's faces #thetraitors

“My God, is that person OK?” “They’re dead” #TheTraitors

Posts from Minneapolis residents read like they'll be read in voiceover in a Ken Burns-like doc one day

Stephen's outfit looks like something from 70s sci-fi. Traitors:1999? #TheTraitors

Watching the Jenrick Press Conference: Really hoping a journalist asks him in the manner of Mrs Merton: "What was it about losing the Tory leadership contest that helped you realise that the Tories had broken Britain?"

"Mum I've got a job in #TheTraitors!" "Wow I'll look out for it!" The job:

Heard a lad earlier talking about ‘Belgian whistles’ “A basic website costs 10k or 25k upwards if you want all the Belgian whistles” BELGIAN WHISTLES

the European mission to Greenland was fourth in the BBC news running order this morning, which feels a bit like doing a light "and finally..." item about the archduke's motorcade taking a wrong turn in Sarajevo

absolutely ADORE the fact that Harriet essentially banishing herself has already been forgotten about and hasn't changed the gameplay at ALL #TheTraitors

after Stephen leaves the turret he climbs into Thunderbird 1 and clocks in a shift with international Rescue #TheTraitors

Anyone who has worked in, around, or near party politics for any length of time has met a couple of dozen people who think they're Urquhart and act like it. None are. You'd never notice the ones who really are talented.

“But the enjoyable thing about #Jenrick has always been that he was totally transparent. That enjoyment is only increased by his apparent conviction that his manoeuvrings are completely invisible to the rest of us..Like so many MPs, he thinks he’s Francis Urquhart, when in fact he’s Baldrick.” 👏🏻👏🏻

76% of American voters polled have seen the footage of ICE killing Renee Good.

Specifically, David Shor is explicitly saying that AOC's message that "Republicans are cutting healthcare to fund ICE, and therefore Democrats should cut ICE funding" is the most popular message among voters

hey Mom can you come pick me up. yeah everyone on the niche microblogging website is arguing about who has the correct emotional posture to the unknowable future again

Jade's only crime is having a face card that never declines and impeccable knitwear #TheTraitors

Welcome, northwesters, to the fun game of 'I wonder where the top secret Tour de France route is going... Could it be the small rural b-road that is being mysteriously resurfaced?' Signed, someone who lived in Yorkshire when the tour came through 😂

Dont look suspicious #TheTraitors

This dude is intense and correct

The median American here imo

Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht were murdered on January 15, 1919.

I'm not great a keep up with Bluesky cause I tend to write a lot 😅😅 My latest posts elsewhere is about email therapy and when it's suitable. You can check out the lil "quiz" I made to see if it would work for you - www.emilyduffytherapy.co.uk/what-i-offer... #therapy #emailtherapy #accessible

ICE is making the police department’s job borderline impossible. They’re actively causing a lot of chaos AND they’re frightening people into a level of non-cooperation that is unsustainable. MPD has issues but has spent years trying pretty hard to rebuild some trust; feds are torching it for fun.

You’re correct, I do not actually want full-scale war, barricades on the street, citizens fighting cops, because that would destroy my city and maybe get me killed. I realize from the perspective of someone yearning to watch a revolution on their phone, that’s disappointing

Getting a lot of messages. A lot are like "Can I come help?" (appreciated, but unless you know the area very well, probably not THAT useful) or "Can I send money?" (not to me, please). But the best ones are like "I want to build what you guys have back in my home city." YES, DO THAT. DO IT NOW.

I cannot overstate how much everything we're doing relies on heavily populated, extremely active community networks and channels. If ICE sets foot in my neighborhood signal blows up. There are observers on virtually every block. Someone whistles or honks like crazy and suddenly EVERYONE knows.

This is the thing you should be building today. Talk to your neighbors. Get a signal rapid response channel going. It's okay if it starts small. Have something ready that people can join when the need arises. Get the lines of communication open. That way, when ICE comes, you're ready.
